Additional costs

In general, the rule amongst Project-organizations is that there should be no additional costs for the participants. Not all organizations can comply with this principle. Especially in poor countries, additional participation fees are demanded for participation in a project. Any “extra fees” are noted in the project description.

Cancellation

If you are unable to participate in a Workcamp, you should promptly notify Workcamp Switzerland.

The registration fee can be refunded in case of sickness or accident (with an attestation from the doctor).

If you cancel due to other reasons, the registration fee is not refundable. If you find another person he/she can take your place in the Workcamp.

For additional costs (travel costs, Visa etc.) that arise in connection with the proposed project Workcamp Switzerland assumes no liability.

Cancellation through Workcamp Switzerland

In case a Workcamp gets cancelled because of unforeseen circumstances, we will inform you immediately and refund back the registration fee. For other costs that arose in connection with the planned project Workcamp Switzerland assumes no liability. If desired, instead of a cancellation a transfer can be made to another project. Together with our partners we will try to offer you an alternative Workcamp. There is no guarantee for an equivalent project.

Arrival and departure

You are responsible for planning and booking your trip. The costs are covered by the participant.

Commitments

You are expected to inform yourself about the current visa requirements, the current situation of the target country and take the necessary measures (vaccinations, visas, etc.).
